When in Rome fill your picnic basket with wine, bread, and cheese. When you are heading east or west on the 126 highway between Ventura and Fillmore, fill your rustic picnic basket with wine, fruit, honey, and Yanni’s.
The scenic emerald green hills along the 126 highway signal spring is in the air. Lucky tourist leisurely stop along the highway wine tasting, buying fresh fruit, honey tasting, and looking for a good place to eat.
The best stop of all for breakfast, lunch or dinner is Yanni’s. This wonderful family owned and operated restaurant sits among fast food competition Carl’s Jr., Taco Bell, and I Hop. What does Yanni’s offer more than their competition? An extensive menu that incorporates everything the competition has and a lot, lot more. In 2009, Ventura County Star readers voted them a favorite for the best Greek food and hot dogs. The Baklava desert is homemade fresh daily, and almost sold out by noon. Do not leave this out of your picnic basket or as a desert for a family get together or dinner party. You may order this special pastry by calling ahead to be sure not to miss this mouth-watering treat.
Each selection at Yanni’s is made to order from scratch to give you the best quality, and taste. The equivalent of home cooked meals. Their generous sides accompany charbroiled hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ, Gyro, pastrami, rib-eye steak, Greek pita, Philly cheese steak sandwiches and combo/specials. Think that is a mouth full. They have daily favorites too, in addition to kid’s meals, and dinner plates. The list of menu choices goes on, and soon you will be able to view them on their website yannisbest.com starting next month. Anyway, I must mention the root beer floats, wonderful milk shakes, beer, wine, and fountain beverages. Guaranteed you will add Yanni’s to your list of favorite restaurants.
The best part is Yanni’s friendly service, and comfortable dining areas inside or on the patio. You can call your order ahead and pick it up at the drive-thru or come inside. Literally, you can walk away fulfilled with a price that will not break your wallet, fits everybody’s appetite, and they offer gift certificates too. When it comes to choosing where to stop for a good and satisfying meal or how to fill your rustic picnic basket, without a doubt, it is Yanni’s.
